Table 1. Aerobic capacity parameters derived from the application of the 3MT (EP) and conventional CP tests (critical power hyperbolic model–CP Hyp; critical power work model versus time–CP Ԏ vs t; critical power model versus 1/time–CP P vs 1/t), R2 of mathematical equations, coefficient of variation (CV), confidence interval (IC95%), the error % associated with the prediction of EP (Error %) and effect size (ES) (n = 8).
